There seems no appetite in the Vatican, at any level, to humbly accept and remedy those grave errors. Rather, a desire to hurtle into the future with Pachamama; Amazon Culture; ecology; and global secular solutions – as moral virtue is completely ignored and vocations and faithful Catholics disappear at record speeds.

THANK GOD! For Blessed Saint Father Martin Luther!!
Like every man God uses greatly, he was flawed.
Yet God used Saint Luther to recover the Gospel of Grace and to lead millions to salvation!
Thank you for posting this thread and for making it an open thread.

This op-ed inadvertently illustrates precisely why the Reformation was necessary. Works-based, authoritarian, superstitious religion versus salvation by grace alone, through faith alone.

He died unrepentant, without the sacraments and outside the One True Church. Luther died with every sin covered, no sacraments necessary, and in the Bride of Christ for all eternity!
Rome has never repented and now sadly, is largely gay.

With Luther, there was no warning, just 95 absurd theses appearing out of thin air.Has the author actually read the 95 Theses? We can discuss whether or not they reflect the actual teaching of the church at its beginning, but they are far fron absurd, and came from a study of Scripture, not "out of thin air."

“no warning, just 95 absurd theses appearing out of thin air.”
LOL, yeah. They was blindsided! Caught them right outta the blue, right between selling forgiveness for cash and torturing heretics.
Lotta Papal bull right there.

Padre Pio was a liar, who went through life abusing his own hands and claiming it was miraculous.
So I certainly wouldn't give credence to any claim from Pio.

Always appealing to the opinions of “saints.” How about what Jesus said?

I don’t really believe you want God to have mercy on anybody who disagrees with you.

The Catholic Church can withhold the Sacrament of the Eucharist, but it cannot reverse the work of God in the Sacrament of Baptism. It is possible, if there is a Purgatory, that Luther is there, but if God’s Word is always true, and it is because He cannot lie and does not change, it is impossible for Luther to be in hell, for he was saved through baptism.

The Catholic Church has had profoundly flawed Popes, including the 3, 500 yrs ago. The Church profoundly needed Reformation, so does the Church at this time. There is error everywhere.

Luther
With conscience cocked to listen for the thunder,
He saw the Devil busy in the wind,
Over the chiming steeples and then under
The doors of nuns and doctors who sinned.
What apparatus could stave off disaster
Or cut the brambles of man’s error down?
Flesh was a silent dog that bites its master,
World a still pond in which its children drown.
The fuse of Judgement spluttered in his head:
“Lord, smoke these honeyed insects from their hives.
All Works, Great Men, Societies are bad.
The Just shall live by Faith...” he cried in dread.
And men and women of the world were glad,
Who’d never cared or trembled in their lives.
WH Auden

So you’re claiming everyone who has been baptized is saved?
That’s the first I ever heard of that. But it explains Luther’s “Sin, and let your sins be bold”.
